@elonmusk Exactly! Releasing a repeat securities fraud from restrictions only results in continuing securities fraud. We should have imprisoned and deported Elon Musk ten years ago, after the first fraud case.

Beware the empathy exploit. Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow). For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.

@EF517_V3 @peterbakernyt @CNN Proven: Trump had illegal communications with Russia and invited their interference in our election processes. Proven: Trump convicted of 34 counts of fraud. Proven: Trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll and lied about it. Proven: Trump stole critical national security docs

@peterbakernyt @CNN Only a dimwit like you would think this is a hot take. The reason it's so awesome on CNN, is for a brief period of time, they're not spitting a bunch of bullshit about Russian collusion and whatever the lie of the day is, you clown. x.com/peterbakernyt/…

So impressed that @cnn has stuck with coverage of Artemis II, giving it the attention it deserves as a major milestone in human history. Compelling television that is about courageous people taking risks on behalf of all of us instead of those trying to divide us.

@TatenokaiGael @mattyglesias One more time: the Democrats presented in 2024 a comprehensive immigration reform that was not amnesty. The GOP blocked it, just to preserve the exact lie that you push here. I love when ethical septic tanks like you prove that Republicans can’t make an argument without lying.

@quehashecho911 @mattyglesias 1) NONE OF THAT CHANGES THE FACT THAT DEMOCRATS SUPPORT AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS WHICH NO ONE IN THE EUROPEAN RIGHT SUPPORTS 2) Who the fuck was talking about gay marriage? 3) Sorry, did you forget this one? Completely changing subjects because you got humiliated. Dishonest idiot.

@ScottMessina6 @realjacobsrival @mattyglesias As if reflexive right wingers like you ever gave a shit about union workers. You’ve spent your entire life trying to make the number of union workers equal to zero.

@realjacobsrival @quehashecho911 @mattyglesias Not to mention the 15m unionized workers. You think those union workers who fought to get the insurance plans they have are just gonna give them up? You're delusional.

@ScottMessina6 @realjacobsrival @mattyglesias Sure they will. If they are offered the equivalent at no cost. The value of their healthcare exists only because it’s much better than n-o-t-h-I-n-g. Give them the exact equivalent, and they can bargain for higher pay at no cost to the employer afterwards.

@BigBendChisos @ryangrim Uh, so, how is bombing your former country people, and giving Iran control of the world oil market, help anyone?

@ryangrim He's not torching teh global economy... But if you mean the Iran war, then my biggest disagreement is "no reason". My spouse and therefore extended family are Persian. They can give you a million reasons, besides the nuclear and terror militias threat

Still can’t believe Trump is torching the global economy for basically no reason

@AvDebateEnjoyer @ryangrim How do the bombs solve that? How does letting Iran cut off the world’s oil solve that?

Iran slaughtering 30k of its own people, attacking innocent nations, killing US troops and civilians, funding terrorism, and aiding the worst nations in the world to dodge sanctions/tariffs and undermine the US? No good reason. A good reason would be if they were part of the GOP. This hack is so retarded, every time he talks... no wonder he cant make it at real outlets.

@StormPatriot33 @jamesdh @ryangrim It’s hard to face reality. We sympathize with you as you clutch at your FoxDelusions

@jamesdh @ryangrim Ha! Apple News! 😂😂😂😂😂

@peterbakernyt @stavernise It’s almost as if the for-profit media, including @peterbakernyt, failed in their only societal function: to inform the public so that the public can make good choices.

In Wisconsin, undocumented immigrants perform roughly 70% of the labor on the state's dairy farms. At the O'Harrow farm, the Republican family owners worry that the immigration crackdown will hurt their workers and their business. @stavernise nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

@eitanaltman @new_sodom @elevin11 @mattyglesias Wow. That’s a quick and complete intellectual surrender.

@new_sodom @elevin11 @mattyglesias lol ok sorry I didn’t realize you were retarded My bad

@JewishWonk @mattyglesias You mean like the anti-Palestinian progroms in the West Bank? Or the massacre of Gaza Palestinians? No liberal democracy should support these kinds of violent discrimination.

@mattyglesias I am sorry you get some bad faith arguments from leftists, but I assure you I mean it sincerely that there are limits to catering to public opinion and a liberal should say overt bigotry or permission structures for it is one of them.

The problem with this argument, which Matt would rate higher if he were actively involved in Jewish life, is that animus towards Israel is a permission structure for bigotry, harassment, and assault against American Jews. It amounts to throwing us under the bus for votes.

@TatenokaiGael @mattyglesias “Illegal alien amnesty” is something Fox News made up. As I told you, you dishonest piece of shit, the Democrats proposed a strict and complete immigration reform and the Republicans blocked it because they wanted to continue lying like you are right now

@quehashecho911 @mattyglesias Illegal alien amnesty has been a Dem agenda item for decades, Self-ID for Trans is utterly non-existent on the European Right and basically every country in Europe has rules way tighter than America had before Dobbs. The point was you are mentally retarded and it stands.

@DrewPavlou @mattyglesias Wow that’s amazing. Show me where he said that.

@mattyglesias Hasan doesn’t just believe that Israel is bad, he’s a Third Worldist who wants to see every Jew in Israel herded from their homes and death marched into the desert or sea. And he wants this kind of insane racial sectarian violence to engulf the US and Europe too.

@realjacobsrival @mattyglesias Whatever the fuck you are thinking, it is the opposite of patriotism. It is pure hatred of working people.

If you do not think that upper middle class in America is 100 million people you don't understand how rich this country is. And I am not defending the current setup which should be obvious to anyone reading what I have written without partisan blinders. And don't start with Canada and Asia nonsense.

@realjacobsrival @mattyglesias Imagine being so ball-licking subservient that you ignore that we have a term “upper middle class,“ and it has always meant “no money worries,” and now you want to downsize it to “every homeowner,” so that you can advocate making working class Americans live in tenements again.

@realjacobsrival @mattyglesias A stupid argument. I am not going to feel happy b/c people are dying in Cuba, just so the 1% can have low taxes & monopoly profits. Fuck all you bootlickers who think the work my parents, grandparents and great grandparents put in to make this country prosperous is meaningless.

@realjacobsrival @mattyglesias I am in USA’s small (10%) upper middle class. I have great HC that is less useful than Medicare and more expensive than Medicare. All wages are depressed because of the expense to employers and all employers want to move every possible function to Canada or Asia because of HC

@quehashecho911 @mattyglesias You do not understand how good healthcare is for America's massive upper middle class. Why do you think Mississippi has a higher GDP than Britain? Lot of people with a lot of money and they all have premium healthcare through corporate jobs.

@TatenokaiGael @mattyglesias 1) all of them accept asylum seekers, just like the U.S. similar proportions too. 2) self ID on trans is pretty common. 3) few limits on abortion. Some limits in really Catholic countries Your point was?

@mattyglesias >It's a 'DEMOCRATS WOULD BE RIGHT WING IN EUROPE' post Cool. Now tell me how many Right wing European parties support amnesty for illegal migrants, self-ID on Trans issues and no limits on abortion.

@realjacobsrival @mattyglesias No, we would have a bunch of bitching and screaming, then millions of jobs would be in -sourced to the United States, everybody would pay less and have fewer hassles with HC, and everybody would be healthier. Nothing will ever stop Republican attempts at sabotage. Ignore them.

@mattyglesias I once had a Swedish guy explain to me how the Swedish healthcare system works (you cannot pay for better service under any circumstance) and I immediately realized we would have a bloody revolution in this country within ten seconds if Medicare for all were ever passed.
